My husband and I have been going to Rutledge for several years now, and it is like no other flea market I can think of.
A golf cart or ATV is definitely the only way to get around, but bring your own because my husband thinks the rental fee is around $35 for 3 hours. I'm not certain because we always haul our own, and the man running the concession stand told us this a couple of years ago. On the other hand, if you choose to hike it, you can avoid the gym for the rest of the week.
The auctions that I've seen there (held at noon in the orginal food stand) have featured knives, guns, fly swatters, and dog collars (dogs attached). If you've got misc. junk to sell, why not just set up there starting on Friday morning of the 2nd weekend of the month?
Since Irvin died, the family/new owners have made several improvements to the place--new gravel for the roads, some of the seriously decrepid shacks have come down, etc. Not quite as colorful as it and its people used to be, but still A LOT OF FUN.
